How Earth Spirit and Sven perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Sven win 50.79% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,861 matches.
Setting up kills for a farmed Sven can feel a little redundant with an Earth Spirit. On paper, kicking an enemy back with Boulder Smash for Sven to cleave down seems effective. In practice, Sven often buys his own initiation and relies on his own Storm Hammer to lock down a primary target. Earth Spirit’s control is certainly helpful, as any stun or slow is, but it doesn't cover Sven's primary weakness of being kited after he commits with God's Strength. Both heroes want to cause chaos in the middle of a fight, but they don't necessarily enable each other in a way that fundamentally changes the outcome. The result is a partnership that works but isn't a specialized combo.
